Self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor Craig Wright is being referred to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on charges of perjury and counterfeiting legal fees in a British judgment. The judge noted that the CPS could decide whether Wright should be arrested and granted two injunctions that prevent Wright from being prosecuted again over his claim to be Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto.
“I have no doubt that I should send the relevant papers in this case to the CPS to consider whether a prosecution should be launched against Dr Wright for his gross perjury and falsification of documents and “Or whether a warrant for his arrest should be issued and/or whether his extradition should be sought from wherever he is now, all matters are to be decided by the CPS,” the Prime Minister of England said. Justice James Mellor of the Court of Justice wrote in a recently released decision.
If Wright truly believes he is Nakamoto, “he is deluding himself,” Mellor wrote.
Mailer had previously discovered that Wright had “lied repeatedly and extensively” and had filed “massive” paperwork in a matter indistinguishable from Wright’s claim that he was Nakamoto. The case began when Wright was sued by the non-profit Crypto Observable Patent Alliance (COPA), which it said was intended to discredit Wright’s Bitcoin-invention claim and prevent him from claiming intellectual component rights on the device. Had to be stopped from doing.
Wright’s location unknown
Wright’s location is unknown, as stated in the recent ruling. “Evidence suggests Dr Wright has left his previous residence in Wimbledon, it appears he has left the UK, he is said to have been traveling and was last seen in the time zone of UTC +7 were established,” Mellor wrote.
COPA requested Mellor to “refrain from personal service of final order on Dr. Wright” because his whereabouts are a mystery. COPA advised the court that “Dr. Wright is either deliberately avoiding service or at least circling and very difficult to locate.” Mailer wrote that COPA’s approach “seems to me entirely reasonable and COPA guarantees the order it seeks on Dr. Wright for the service of my final order on his solicitors.”
After the trial, Mellor’s decision to refer Wright for perjury trial seemed too easy. “As COPA presents, if what happened in this case does not warrant a referral to the CPS, it is difficult to envisage a case that would… In pursuing this, Dr Wright committed ‘a crime’ Mellor wrote, the most serious abuse of the process of the courts of the UK, Norway and the USA.
anti lawsuit injunction
Mellor also granted COPA’s request for an injunction, which prevents Wright from bringing certain types of complaints pursuant to his Bitcoin-invention claim. As Associated Press has reported, the purpose of the licensing injunction is to prevent Wright from “threatening to sue or filing a lawsuit against the developers.”
Licensed via Mellor COPA requests “an anti-suit injunction to prevent Dr. Wright or other claimants in related claims from bringing further proceedings in this or other jurisdictions to re-litigate their claim to be Satoshi.” “, and “a related order restrains him from threatening such proceedings.”
Mellor refused to grant additional orders barring Wright from contesting Nakamoto’s right to commit a felony, fighting the re-publication of Wright’s fraudulent claims, and demanding the removal of the now-revealed statements. The decision passed noted that there was some overlap between the injunction requests that were granted a license and those that were not granted a license. Additionally, Wright would have difficulty convincing anyone that he invented Bitcoin without violating two licensing injunctions.
Although there is a slight possibility that “some people may begin to change their minds or begin to believe that Dr. Wright is Satoshi… I believe the impact will be small. Right-thinking people will But we can consider those claims as hot air or empty rhetoric, even downright ridiculous,” Mellor wrote.
Similarly, a layout removing the statements “would be inconsistent” and not sensible because “anyone with an interest in Bitcoin would be aware of the COPA trial and would be aware of the outcome,” Mellor wrote. However, the decision gives us the discretion to once again create requests for COPA if it deems it important.
“I acknowledge that my assessment may prove to be incorrect. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that Dr. Wright has modified his public statements following the outcome of the COPA trial, but this may be temporary. Dr. “Once the dust settles, Wright is fully able to resume his public announcements,” Mellor wrote.
Because of that risk, Mailer noted that COPA has “permission, for a period of 2 years, to apply for any additional injunctive relief that they deem necessary to protect the interests of the corporate entities they serve.” As well as representing individuals in the Bitcoin community who have suffered due to Dr. Wright’s false claims of being Satoshi.”
